Mitosis

Cells spend 90% of their time in this stage of the cell cycle. This is the reason you would see most cells in this stage if viewed under a microscope.

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Interphase

Cell division occurs to allow for 

• Growth
• Reproduction
• Repair
• All of the above

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase
